Beyond Discouraged

[aloudwhisper 176]

Oh, btw, I was banded in 2009 and in 2013 restarted at MY preband weight. I have started getting fills and working out and have lost 30 pounds so far. Just forget regret and live in the now!

How has it been going since you started getting filled again? I have decided to start getting filled again, cause I have struggled since I was banded in November of 2008. The most I lost was 59, but when I had an issue with my band it was all downhill. I hope to turn things around for myself. I got this tool for a reason. I hope I can do better this go round.

Alright now! I love the things you are saying. There are always pros and cons to starting over, but the wonderful thing about it is that you know where to start. Everyday we have the gift to begin again. Im doing my best to keep the carbs really low, and the starches and process foods out of my life. Not that I can't ever have them, but I need a serious break. There are parts of me that regret having thus surgery, but there is a whole lot that I can learn from this journey. We are not defeated. No we haven't gotten to our goal weight, but there are so many lessons we can obtain through this process. No wls is 100% successful, so there is always something to do and even more to learn. So what are you doing now to make this time better than the last?

Its truly a day by day process. I was thinking about some junk an hour ago. I started drinking Water and try to focus on my work and time passed. I have to remember how bad I need this weight off. I also have some nuts in my desk to hild me until I get home.
